Welcome Back Jentle Soaps!

After a long sabbatical I am so happy to be able to launch Jentle Soaps back on the web. I will be testing new and wonderful recipes out for handmade cosmetics and would love feedback on what you think of my creations. To begin I'll start posting recipes from my ebook Beauty Crafts to give you a taste of my Soap making and Sundry skills. I've been concocting beauty products since I was 7 years old so I have a few recipes to share...more than a few actually!

I'm going to launch this blog with weeklyIngredient discussions and see where it goes...

Making your own soap and
cosmetics is a rewarding and artistically challenging hobby. Discovering the
complex chemistry between ingredients and how to maximize the benefits of each
is how we create new products. In this blog I will share recipes I have developed for
primarily soap from scratch & transparent soap crafting (also known as
soap-casting), formulas for lip and
body balms, dusting powders, bubble bath, bath bombs, shampoo and more.

Many of the ingredients are
easy to find at your local craft, grocery and drug stores. As
the owner of Jentle Soaps I believe that only the highest quality ingredients
make the best products. In my opinion the search for the more exotic
ingredients are worth the hunt. Fresh high quality ingredients will give you
the best results. Oils such as shea butter, cocoa butter and virgin coconut oil
are now available in many health food stores or by mail order. Because
fragrance is such an important ingredient for many people make sure you
purchase your essential and fragrance oils from reputable manufacturers and importers.

I invite you to begin learning Beauty Crafts. Use
the body treatments within the recommend time period and always refrigerate any
fresh ingredient preparations. Any handmade soap should be used within one
year. Store all hand made preparations in a cool dry place. I hope you enjoy
crafting each and every recipe as much as I enjoyed testing them.
